To combat erosion, a complex of agricultural machines is being produced, with the help of which the land is protected from erosion.

All these devices are equipped with plane cutters of different shapes and sizes.

The plane cutters descend to a certain depth and loosen the desired layer without turning it over, preserving the fertile layer and accumulating moisture.

A rod plane-cutting cultivator, which, together with loosening the soil, conducts its anti-erosion protection.

The cultivator is aggregated with tractors of Soviet and foreign brands and is quickly hung with the help of an automatic coupling.

The side sections of the cultivator from the tractor cab are driven from the transport position to the working position and vice versa using hydraulic cylinders.

During the movement of the unit, its working bodies sink into the ground to a depth of 3 to 10 cm, the working width of the grip is 9 meters.

As a result of loosening the soil with a rod cultivator with simultaneous pruning of weeds, up to 75% of stubble remains in the surface layer.

Such tillage increases the yield by 2-3 hundredweight per hectare.

The original design of the working bodies ensures that the soils do not stick and the unit can operate at 35% humidity of the earth.

The barbell flat-cutter cultivator is mobile during moving.

Needle harrow.

Such a harrow is universal and can work on different soils, for this purpose, the degree of deepening of needle discs is regulated by means of a hydraulic system.

Hydraulic cylinders are also transferred from the transport position to the working position.

The degree of loosening of the soil depends on the angle of attack of the disk.

Setting to the required operating mode is carried out using a lever system, the angle of attack is adjustable from 0 to 16 degrees.

The design of the harrow provides for the compilation of a wide-reaching high-performance unit with the help of hydrofected couplings.

Such an aggregate can process up to 30.5 hectares in an hour.

After the passage of the unit, 75-90% of stubble remains, which contributes to the creation of a favorable microclimate in the soil for plant development.

Row cultivators.

Simultaneously with the cultivation of the soil, these machines apply fertilizers.

From its impeller, through the driveshaft and chain drive, there is a drive to the device that supplies fertilizers.

By turning the lever, the fertilizer supply rate changes.

The connection of 3-4 cultivators in the unit with a tractor with a pulling force of 5 tons allows you to increase the working grip to 14.9 m.

The cultivator can be easily transported over considerable distances.

The cultivator can not only sow grain crops in rows with simultaneous pruning of weeds, but also introduce fertilizers into the soil, roll it in the sown rows and at the same time preserve 60% of the protective stubble layer.

Along grain and grain pipelines, seed material and fertilizers are simultaneously supplied to the rows formed by flat cutters.

The grain and tuk feeding system is available on each seeder, which makes it possible to carry out various combinations of sowing.

Each component enters the soil separately, so the seeder hopper consists of two compartments.

This organization of work prevents the formation of erosion.

The working bodies of the seeder are regulated by means of a hydraulic system.

The cultivator seeder levels the field and forming a corrugated surface helps to protect the soil from wind and partially water erosion.

The seeder can work successfully on soils in which the remnants of stubble have been preserved as much as possible, which accumulates moisture in the seed layer and accumulates it even with minor precipitation.
